EAGLES SPONSOR
OLD AGE PENSIONS
LOCAL COMMITTEE HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO CARRY OUT THE
WORK IN THIS VICINITY
Amherst Aerie ot the Fraternal Order of Eagles, one of the active fraternal bodies of this community, In response to the request of the National
Commission on Old Age Pensions of
sadl fraternal order, has appointed
Messrs! J. J. Smythe, Matthew Lawless and John Bruce as the local committee. This committee will Immediately begin steps to organize Old Age
Pension clubs In this community. The
purpose Is to arouse public sentiment
in favor of old age pensions in the
hope that the next legislature will pass
an Old Age Pension bill that will be
approved by the governer, to become
effective at an early date. Non-Eagles
as well as Eagles and other organizations will be Invited to pnrtlcupate In
the formation of the club which will
be a civic organization rnther than a
purely fraternal one. After tho committee has worked out Its plans, announcement will be made in the local
press.
This action of the local Aerie, simply carries out a detail of the plan
formulated and adopted at the National convention of the Order, the
Grand Aerie of 1921. The Eagles have
ever been forward In originating and
supporting measures to promote tre
welfare of the people, particularly
those who do the hard work of the
world, and, as a rule, are not well
paid for their service. Among these
Eagle-supported propositions, are the
laws providing compensation for accident and occupational diseases, maximum hours of labor for women and
children, healthful conditions tor
working and living and pensions for
widowed mothers.
It was, then, to be expected that
this Fraternity should promptly espouse the cause of the disabled veterans in our Industrial system—the
men who, having spent the vigor of
their youth and the strength of their
manhood in production labor, find
themselves "scrapped" at 60 or 66, being no longer able to "carry on" with
the swift-moving machinery or the
present age.
Tne problem is not confined to this
country. It confronts the entire civilised world, and neraly every nation,
except the United States, haa made
efforts to solve It. In some cases the
proposed solution takes the form of
voluntary or compulsory Insurance.
But the stern facts show that this does
not meet the requirements of the case.
So, the most humane and progressive
nations are adopting the Old Age Pension plan. It is this plan that the Eagles are supporting because, wherever
tried, it has proven to be the most
Just, beneficent and, iu proportion to
the good accomplished, the least costly.
Accordingly, the last Qrand Aerie,
by unanimous action, not only declared in favor of Old Age Pensions,
but provided a working educative propaganda for securing the enactment of
laws establishing State-paid Old Age
Pensions A national Old Age Pension
Commission was appointed with Past
Grand Worthy President Frank E.
Herlng, Editor of The Eagle magazine,
as chairman, to devite ways and
means for such propaganda, and $35,-
000 was appropriated to enable aald
Commission to carry on the work.
This Commission has prepared and Is
distributing a pamphlet which seta
forth the necessity for such pensions
and shows what has been done by various, nations along the line of helping
the aged victims of our Industrial system.
One of the suggestions made Is the
formation* of such clubs as the local
Aerie proposes.
The universal responses indicate
that thoughtful men and women everywhere, both employers and working
people, Union labor and non-Union labor, are lining up back of the proposition, because they recognize that it ia
a need created by the industrial conditions of our time due to mass production In this age ot machinery.

"I cannot be with you and so all
I can do Is to wish you God-speed.
There must be no sagging back In the
fight for Americanism merely because
the war is over. There are plenty of
persons who have already made the
assertion that they believe the American people have a short memory and
that they Intend to revive all the foreign associations which most directly
Interfere with the complete Americanization of our people.
"Or principle In this matter should
be absolutely simple. In the first place,
we should Insist that if the Immigrant
who comes here In good faith becomes
an American and assimilates himself
to us shall be treated on au exact
equality with everyone else, for It is

EAGLES SPONSOR
OLD AGE PENSIONS
LOCAL COMMITTEE HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO CARRY OUT THE
WORK IN THIS VICINITY
Amherst Aerie ot the Fraternal Order of Eagles, one of the active fraternal bodies of this community, In response to the request of the National
Commission on Old Age Pensions of
sadl fraternal order, has appointed
Messrs! J. J. Smythe, Matthew Lawless and John Bruce as the local committee. This committee will Immediately begin steps to organize Old Age
Pension clubs In this community. The
purpose Is to arouse public sentiment
in favor of old age pensions in the
hope that the next legislature will pass
an Old Age Pension bill that will be
approved by the governer, to become
effective at an early date. Non-Eagles
as well as Eagles and other organizations will be Invited to pnrtlcupate In
the formation of the club which will
be a civic organization rnther than a
purely fraternal one. After tho committee has worked out Its plans, announcement will be made in the local
press.
This action of the local Aerie, simply carries out a detail of the plan
formulated and adopted at the National convention of the Order, the
Grand Aerie of 1921. The Eagles have
ever been forward In originating and
supporting measures to promote tre
welfare of the people, particularly
those who do the hard work of the
world, and, as a rule, are not well
paid for their service. Among these
Eagle-supported propositions, are the
laws providing compensation for accident and occupational diseases, maximum hours of labor for women and
children, healthful conditions tor
working and living and pensions for
widowed mothers.
It was, then, to be expected that
this Fraternity should promptly espouse the cause of the disabled veterans in our Industrial system—the
men who, having spent the vigor of
their youth and the strength of their
manhood in production labor, find
themselves "scrapped" at 60 or 66, being no longer able to "carry on" with
the swift-moving machinery or the
present age.
Tne problem is not confined to this
country. It confronts the entire civilised world, and neraly every nation,
except the United States, haa made
efforts to solve It. In some cases the
proposed solution takes the form of
voluntary or compulsory Insurance.
But the stern facts show that this does
not meet the requirements of the case.
So, the most humane and progressive
nations are adopting the Old Age Pension plan. It is this plan that the Eagles are supporting because, wherever
tried, it has proven to be the most
Just, beneficent and, iu proportion to
the good accomplished, the least costly.
Accordingly, the last Qrand Aerie,
by unanimous action, not only declared in favor of Old Age Pensions,
but provided a working educative propaganda for securing the enactment of
laws establishing State-paid Old Age
Pensions A national Old Age Pension
Commission was appointed with Past
Grand Worthy President Frank E.
Herlng, Editor of The Eagle magazine,
as chairman, to devite ways and
means for such propaganda, and $35,-
000 was appropriated to enable aald
Commission to carry on the work.
This Commission has prepared and Is
distributing a pamphlet which seta
forth the necessity for such pensions
and shows what has been done by various, nations along the line of helping
the aged victims of our Industrial system.
One of the suggestions made Is the
formation* of such clubs as the local
Aerie proposes.
The universal responses indicate
that thoughtful men and women everywhere, both employers and working
people, Union labor and non-Union labor, are lining up back of the proposition, because they recognize that it ia
a need created by the industrial conditions of our time due to mass production In this age ot machinery.
